مَرْيَم : ٦٧

  • أَوَلَا Does not
  • يَذۡكُرُ remember
  • ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ [the] man
  • أَنَّا that We
  • خَلَقۡنَٰهُ We created him
  • مِن before
  • قَبۡلُ before
  • وَلَمۡ while not
  • يَكُ he was
  • شَيۡـٔٗا anything
Does man not remember that We created him before, while he was nothing?
Does not man then remember (yadhdhakaru, is actually yatadhakkaru, but the taa' has been changed to a dhaal and assimilated with the [other] dhaal; a variant reading leaves it as yadhkuru) that We created him before, when he was nothing?, and thus infer from the first act [of creation] the [possibility of] resurrection.
